Just Like Abe.
From the Bismarck Tribune


Have you seen this story about Abe Lincoln
where, when he was clerk in a dry goods store
he discovered after the lady had gone that he
had cheated her out of six and a quarter cents
in making change and how he closed the store
and walked three miles after dark that evening
to refund the money!" This question was asked
by the minister, and addressed to old Sobersides
yes" said Sobersides, i've got clerk who
reminds me of Old Abe, and every time 1 read
that story think of him."
"You don't say. He must be splendid fel
low
''He is. He had precisely the same expe
rience that is told Of Lincoln"
You don't say! Failed to give back the right
amount of change? Discovered his mistake!
And walked three miles to give it back? Did he
do that"
''Yes, better than that. He walked four miles
instead of three, and did not return until {
o'clock next morning"
Magnificent youth God bless him" ejacu.
lated the minister.
''Yes, nice fellow, and he would have made
his mark, too, if the girl hadn't had him ar
rested"
Arrested? What for?"
Breach of promise"

Commissioner Coleman's Sorghum Ex-
pertinent.

Commissioner Coleman thinks that there
is now fair prospect for this country, in
the course of few years, TO produce all the
sugar it consumes. The making of sugar
from sorghum by the diffusion or saturation
process is according TO the Commissioner,
proving to be a great success. He is CON
Quoting experiments at Fort Scott, Kan,
and Rio Grande, N. j.
BY the diffusion process costly mills are
not needed, and all the saccharine matter is
extracted from the cane. The expensive
mills In use on the sugar plantations of
Louisiana leave at least a third Of the sac
charine matter in the refuse cane
The Commissioner says that Kansas will
find the culture Of sorghum for sugar much
more profitable than the culture Of corn or
wheat From / 200 10 1900 pounds OF sugar
per acre is secured, worth 81 per pound
Besides the sugar, from 10 10 100 gallons
per acre Of molasses Is obtained. and -
bushels Of sorghum seed, which Is worth as
much as corn for feed for cattle.
II the diffusion process IL all that the Com.
missioner claims for IL, sorghum might be
cultivated IN this locality with profit.

A st. Louis man has invented an auto
matte grain scale. 1t consists of box with
inclined partitions placed on an ordinary
scale. Within this box is revolving pan
supported on rocking lever. Attached to
the lever is an upright upon. which rests a
vibrating valve for the purpose of cutting
OFF the main flow of grain. Extending down
from this valve is a rod that disturbs the
equilibrium of the grain when the pan is
full, and causes it to discharge itself The
grain pours through the main opening un-
til the pan contains almost the required
weight, then the level ON which the pan
rests rocks and partially cuts off the flow.
The grain now runs in very small stream
until the weight is completed, when the box
descends and the scale-beam rises, breaking
the electric circuit, which, acting ON the cleo
tro magnet, causes the supplemental valve
TO cut off the grain completely

peculiar circumstances. In the summer of 1923
Prof George Mcclellan called at my office at
Library and Fifth streets, in this city, to ask
me if ON the morrow would accompany Mr.
Edwin Forrest to the Pennsylvania Hospital,
adding that the young actor was studying the
character of Lear, and was anxious to see a
Mr.. Rush, who had long been confined in that
institution on account of insanity. My answer

John Rush was son of DIR. Benjamin Rush, and
had been educated for the Philadelphia bar

United States adorned as it was by many of
the leading minds of the country The case of
Rush was singularly melancholy one.
In an evil hour the young lawyer quarreled
with his bosom friend, a Mr.. Bingham, who oc-
cupied a high position in the social circle. A
meeting took place soon after-in Canada, |

What is Love?

Darling, I'm lonely when thou art not near me-
Lonely, with even the dearest beside;
Voices whose tones used to gladden. and cheer
me
Seem TO have all their old magic denied.
But in thy presence each dear one is dearer,
Music is sweeter and starlight is clearer,
Friendship and truth appear truer, sincerer,
o surely It's this that they tell us is love.
Absent. thine image floats ever before me-
Present, only can feel that thou art
In the vague sense of delight that steals DER me-
'Widering my brain and thrilling my heart
There is no one so lovely where beauty assemblies,
There is nothing my dreaming about thee
resembles
Save some bright star in the far sky that
trembles-
oh surely It's this that they tell us is love.

If the tariff measure submitted to Congress
has the Endorsement of the administration and a
Democratic caucus there will be no middle
ground for the Randall faction and they cannot
again thwart the policy of the party and the

ner. The alternative will be presented for those
who are unwilling to stand with the party on
this question to enter the Republican ranks, and
the chances are tnat if Mr.. Randall should ac-
cept this alternative he could not carry a suffi-

Girls al Cricket.

The Countess Of Dartmouth invited
two teams Of young ladies' last week to
play g friendly game a. PatskuII, The
contest was between sn eleven OF ladies
captained by Miss Talbot and eleven OF
the Sandwich hall ladies' school, who
were caplained hv Miss Clifford, one Of
their number. The Sandwich ladies' wan
the toss and elected TO BET. They ba.tco
nJrVUUsly ia their tlr5J inning, only two
Of them making any stand, and only sue
Ceeded ia putting together tllr.y-tivc
runs. The bowling Of the senior team
was excellent. Lady Margaret Kerr, -
particular, valyilg her pitch with gTes.
judgment. The fielding was good, only
one bye being recorded. Th- Patskul
team then went 10, ana were not Ou- at
luncheon time, when al adjourned 90 The
hail. Play was resumed At O'Clock.
The Sandwich young ladies' wore CTiGEet
dresses, consisting OF navy
blue skirt, white bodice, and blue
and white cap to match. Their
fielding was remarkably good, and
although there was some all-rOund hard
hitting, the fastest ball or the hottest
catch was never once refused. The most
notable score of the Pstskull team was
that OF Miss Leeke, whose thirty-One vas
put together in right good style, as were
also the scores Of Miss LeVeson Cover,
Miss Talbot and Miss Fox. The innings
closed for niuety-one. The bowling Of
Miss ThornwaIl was effective, she being
credited with no less than eight wiCkets,
caught or bowled. On rcsuming the bat
ting 1t could be seen at once that the
junior team had got beyond the nervous
stage. They hit out more confidently,
and consequently gave fewer chances,
and in the end put together the excellent
total in the second innings Of eighty. nine.
Probably the best style of batting of either
team is that of the Sandwich captain, Miss
Clifford. At the close Of the Sandwich
second innings the PAtskull team resumed
the batting, making up the win By the
loss of only one wicket.
